It's amazing what I don't know

Did you know Jeff Bridges is a photographer? He likes to use a Wide-lux, a camera that has a panning shutter and a very wide aspect ratio. Via. Daring Fireball I found this picture book he made while on the set of Iron Man filled with great pictures and behind the scenes anecdotes.  He also as a pretty cool website.

 And to top it off he's a pretty good country singer.

Nice Work if You Can Get It

It's been another busy few weeks. After "Go Fix Yourself" I went right back to work with "Clean House." That first Monday they needed an assistant to help the DP at the hotel, and luckily I got scheduled. I had to pick up the camera at the office, which required me to remove my passenger seat, and meet our DP at the hotel. I arrived early and put together the camera before our DP got there, and he was impressed. This led him to permanently request me for that position. It was nice that day because I only had to work a half day and didn't have to do any moving of furniture. When we got back to set that Monday, our DP, Chip, even let me shoot for 30 mins on his camera. I never expected that. Since then, Chip has kind of taken me under his wing and set me up with the AC (assistant to camera), Jeremy, to learn his job. Jeremy has been super nice and really open to showing me everything. It's great to have people stand up for you and want to teach you.

This past weekend, while also working on an episode of CH, I worked two days on William Shatner's new show, "Raw Nerve." I really enjoyed it; it was much easier than CH. I got to work with my friend Wilson, and I got to meet some new people. The guests were Fran Dresser, Drew Carry, and Scott Baio. I wasn't there for Fran. One lesson I learned this week is that it is extremely difficult to day play two different shows... especially when one show is presenting you with opportunities to advance and if you miss an opportunity you can lose out. Luckily, for the most part I didn't miss out on anything too important but it would have been nice to work for the Shatner show all four days instead of just two. On the last day I had to find a sub. Actually, it was nice to be able to give someone else work, however a little scary to trust my reputation to someone else.

I am reminded over and over again that I really enjoy working in this industry. My job is always interesting, and nothing is ever the same. Two times this week part of my job was to pick up and drive a Mustang Convertible to the set. And at the last house the home owners had 8 pheasants, a roster, a hen, and even a duck that followed them around... in the hills of Studio City. The owner was an actor and a host on a hunting show, he was into taxidermy and had mounted animals all over the house; he was from Manassas, VA.

Fires:
The fires didn't affect Dani and me too much in Burbank, but when we drove down to visit the Elwoods we could see the fires in the hills out their window, and our car was covered with ash by the end of he night. Quite a sight to see.

Obama

Original Link

I'm happy Obama won.  Both he and McCain gave a great speach the night of the election.  I hope for a unified strong America with a balanced buget.  More so, I am a single issue voter and I wish it didn't have to be so.  I trully hope that we as a counrty will repent for the legalizing of abortion and again revalue the life of Our children.  Let there be no more excuses.  I will concede every issue but the one that matters most, protecting the life of the innocent.

Please join me in prayer for our nation's future President and our nation's unborn children.

We Voted

I think Obama would make a great president but he doesn't best represent me, I wish he would have.

California had 12 proposition on the ballot dealing with Abortion, Gay Marriage, Drug Laws, and the Enviroment.  I'm greatful for having moved to California this year and to have been able to vote on those important issues.

Can't wait to see what happens.

Go Fix Yourself

This week I worked on a Style Network pilot called "Go Fix Yourself," a makeover show where two contestants make themselfs over to win some money.  Though I worked with many of the same people from Clean House, "Go Fix Yourself" was taped mostly on a sound stage which made the experience different.  Also different was the fact that I assisted the camera department!  I recently started looking for an opportunity to work closer with the cameras and this was the break I was looking for.  In fact I shot as a 2nd camera all day on Friday when we followed the contestants around the mall.  It was a small camera... even smaller than mine but I had a great time shooting and playing with shots.  On thing it solidifed to me was the limitations of shooting manual with a small camera like that. Still an awesome experience, hope I captured some good stuff!

This week I also got a call from the production coordinator of William Shatner's Raw Nerve, with whom Wilson set me up with.  It looks like I'll be working on that show the 13th, 14th, and 15th of this month! We'll see how it pans out but this will be a great opportunity to meet some new people.
